§ MR. JESSE COLLINGS (Birmingham, Bordesley)I beg to ask the President of the Local Government Board if he can state, looking at the prevalence of foot and mouth disease in Holland, what steps, if any, are taken to prevent the produce of the infected farms of that country from being imported into England in the form of milk, butter, or cheese.
§ THE PRESIDENT OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT BOARD (Mr. JOHN BURNS,) BatterseaI am advised that the available information does not show that there is any material risk of foot and mouth disease from the importation of dairy produce from Holland. Hence it does not seem to me necessary to take any special action in the matter at the present time, but I will not lose sight of it.
